Decatur Street Paving Moves Forward | New Orleans News

New Orleans’ French Quarter hits a major milestone as the Sewerage and Water Board completes paving on Decatur Street, replacing century-old water mains and upgrading drainage. While construction has severely impacted local businesses—some even forced to close—the city stepped in with $97,500 in grants to 26 affected shops. Nine business owners also reached a deal with the water board requiring 72-hour street closure notices, clearer access during non-work hours, and no water shutdowns in the zone. Though work isn’t finished, this progress signals a path toward less disruption and faster recovery for the neighborhood.
